WEST LAFAYETTE — Janet Fawley has resigned as superintendent of the West Lafayette Parks Department.

Fawley submitted her letter of resignation on Thursday.

The one paragraph letter read, "With regrets, I am submitting my resignation as Parks Superintendent for the City of West Lafayette for personal reasons. I appreciate the opportunities I have experienced during my tenure."

"She was a good employee," West Lafayette Mayor John Dennis said. "She was good for our parks system."

In a prepared statement to the Journal & Courier, Fawley said, "I'm grateful to the West Lafayette Parks staff, and the many people that advocated for the West Lafayette Parks. I appreciate the opportunities I had as the superintendent of the West Lafayette Parks."

Among her proudest accomplishments were the saving and relocating of the Morris schoolhouse, the new parks master plan, as well as making the parks smoke free.

She also was proud of the park's partnerships with the West Lafayette Library to install Little Free Libraries, and working with the park's foundation to raise funds for projects.

Fawley began her stint as superintendent on Nov. 17, 2014, replacing Joe Payne, who retired earlier that year.

Fawley came to West Lafayette from Logansport, where she was the Logansport park administrator from October 2000 to November 2014. Before that she worked for six year as the superintendent of the Cass County Parks and Recreation Department.
